insta-life

Bow c/o Beck and Belle
"My girly momma dreams came true this morning when I put this dress on Mia and watched as she twirled and told me it
was a "'eautifuw dwess!" Then she literally threw herself in my arms and
gave me a hug when I told her mommy and daddy picked out this dress on
our trip last week
Eric lived in Mexico for 2 years so it was his idea to pick out a
couple little outfits for Mia. It's SO cute seeing a piece of Eric's
past that means so much to him on our daughter!"

Family date night!

"It's like she thinks these appointments are for her :) When I told her we were going to the doctor today she yelled, "YAY!" while fist pumpin' the air
I can't say I blame her for getting so excited... I love getting the
chance to listen to baby brother's heart beat! Everything checked out
and we seem to have a healthy, strong babe in the works!"

Because the babymoon trip that Eric and I got to enjoy together can't go unmentioned on the Instagram round up :) I love this man so much!

The
first time Mia put a towel on her head and walked around the house
saying "mommy hair!" Then looking in a princess book and saying "It's
'angled!! That's my mommy!" (How will I ever chop my hair after that
cuteness?!)

The moments
I hear her singing to herself after we put her to bed through the
monitor. Such a sweet little voice! (I love that the songs we are
teaching her bring her comfort!)

The way everything comes to a halt and she lights UP when daddy gets home! He has the same effect on me too, girlfriend!

I spy with my little eye... a tiny little Mia who will change the world!
Our last night in Mexico we experienced another incredible sunset
complete with cotton candy skies- then woke up to a crazy little storm
the next morning. Once the lightning/thunder passed I took her to the
beach to run around. The clouds were tumultuous looking, the wind was
still raging & we were showered with rain drops... Mia looked so
tiny/fragile (on both occasions) for this big, crazy world but I quickly
realized that her heart is as soft, big & beautiful as the cotton
candy skies! She has a personality so fierce that will help her weather
any storm that comes her way with more grace & love than I ever
could manage myself! I have so much to learn from her!!

I finally subscribed to Chatbooks (use my code "RUKMQR4C" to get your first book free!) and I'm pretty sure that's the reason I've been on a grammin' spree! I love having the little things (as well as the big things) documented and, well? It's a good thing Mia is as obsessed with looking at herself as I am because I'll be filling up these books like no one's business, ha ha! If you want to follow along you can find us at courtbrink!

I've been so tempted to get some Chatbooks! Let me know if you like them! I've heard excellent things and they look so cute. Plus, it seems like a genius way to save precious Instagram photos! Have a great weekend!
